Remember when no-one was buying original art ? It's always good to get in on something before everyone else does and there are firm believers that hand-colored Color Guides are currently undervalued and will significantly increase in value in the years to come.What is Color Guide Art ?Just like their original art counterpart color guides are a unique, one-of-a-kind, item and a key part in the production process of a comic.

Color guides are a photocopy of the original art that is then hand-colored by the colorist. The comic artist (penciller) will often add handwritten notes for changes to be made, which shows how the finished comic artwork evolved through production.

This color guide is then used for the computerized color separations. Some pieces will have color "codes" written on them to depict the actual color used for that part of the page. Others will either not have the codes on them or they will be on a separate overlay. The dimensions for colorist art are primarily 8.5" X 11".
